​"Love in the Corners," a novelette, Kentuckiana-Metroversity Writing Competition: 2nd Place Winner
Picture
"Love in the Corners" ambitiously mixes the cool indifference of Eric Bogosian’s Suburbia with Mary Gaitskill’s sexually fascinated and equally damaged characters. This writer employs strikingly economical prose and spot-on dialogue. There is a respect for form shown, while contemporary issues are given center stage. Readers of this piece are granted a heartfelt portrayal of youth and the music scene from this wonderfully vivid story." —Sophie Rosenblum, ​Author & Editor, NANO Fiction

>> Available as an eBook Novelette.
